Touring a City in One Day: Philadelphia

It is quit interesting that I haven't yet alluded to the amount of times I have been to Philadelphia. By this time sophomore year of high school I had already been about 14 times, and that was just to the museum/historical areas.  I wasn't all to excited for this field trip because I had already seen everything we were going to see many times over. We also went with the freshman class which we didn't entirely like and thought they would ruin the whole trip.

This trip I then decided to make it more interesting and recall all the facts in which I had learned over the years and pretended to be a tour guid for a group of my friends.  They thoroughly enjoyed the show I put on.  We laughed when a family joined the group because they thought it was their tour, I think they were very embarrassed.  

It was a day well spent and we saw all the classic stops and got our pick of some good cheese steaks.  The class below us wasn't to much of a problem and most of them were civil the whole trip.  I enjoyed the difference of going with my friends and not different people in my family.  Against my teachers wishes it became more of a social field trip instead of an educational one, but it was still a day off from school.

Life Lesson #17: Never pretend to be a tour guide otherwise you will get people listening in on your explanation for free.
